Description

By nature, all places of work will present unique risks to the individuals operating within them. Whilst the degree of severity attached to these risks can vary significantly, it is a legal requirement for all UK employers to complete a suitable and sufficient risk assessment. Although most businesses will have an existing risk assessment in place, this does not guarantee that they are compliant.

Our course aims to give delegates a thorough understanding of the elements involved in assessing risk, with bespoke guidance on how to apply this within their own place of work. When developing this understanding, we outline the direct legal and physical implications of an improper assessment, allowing individuals to recognise the value of an accurate approach. Upon completion of training, delegates can expect to be confident in their ability to produce a risk assessment that ticks all boxes for compliance.

To ensure maximum engagement, this course includes interactive group exercises that can be tailored to the specific circumstances of an organisation. These exercises are supported by theoretical models that are ready for use in the workplace, covering processes such as hazard identification and risk evaluation.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
